That picture would date from the Civil War showing the guns at Fort Moultrie firing on the Union Ships. It was built on the site of Fort Sullivan but Fort Sullivan was constructed of the logs of Palmetto trees, not brick like the fort shown. That is why the Palmetto tree is shown on the SC state flag.
